The Remote Field Controller (RBC) is a component of the Apogee Field Management and Control System, and is a high performance remote direct digital control (DDC) managed field controller. The field controllers can operate independently or be networked to perform complex control, monitoring and energy management functions without the intervention of a higher level processor. The Remote Field Controllers provide centralized monitoring and control of local network (FLN) devices and other field systems such as chiller, boilers, fire/life safety, access control and lighting devices. In addition, up to 100 Remote Field Controllers can communicate on a network.
The Remote Site Controller (RBC) is a high‑performance DDC controller that can operate independently or networked within the APOGEE building‑management system. It supports up to 100 controllers on a single network and provides advanced PID HVAC control, alarm management, and data logging.
The hardware is modular, with snap‑in point modules, a power module supplying 24Vac/24Vdc, an open processor based on a Motorola 68302 CPU, and optional modem. Various I/O modules (analog, digital, pulse, pressure) can be configured to meet user requirements, and the system includes built‑in RS‑232 and RS‑485 communications.
